Just WRITE.
I thought I’d pop in for a second and share some thoughts from a freelancer’s perspective. The world is an uncertain place right now. I could go on about business or school closures and job loss, but I won’t. The best advice I can give to humans right now is JUST WRITE.
BUSINESS PEOPLE–Just Write. Start a blog. Share your thoughts, tips, advice, and perspectives on social media. Don’t disappear or fall into despair. Realtors, teachers, veterinarians, clergy, designers…share what you know. JUST WRITE.
People are online searching because they are…
Scared
Curious
Looking for help

This step-by-step guide shares the truth, fears, tears, and cheers of being a mom who is building a business empire on her own terms. If you are looking for a new career for the “second half of life,” venturing into direct sales, rocking a home business, or dreaming of leaving a dead-end job, this book provides the building blocks needed to move forward with a healthy dose of humor authenticity.

I was lucky to have Becky Flansburg join us at Multicultural Children’s Book Day when we first began our nonprofit. She was the “head elf, ” meaning she did everything from project management to helping us get sponsorships. In the early years, we couldn’t keep her busy for more than a few months a year, even though that was very part-time. Becky’s contribution to the team helped us grow our nonprofit, and, in turn, we could keep her busier. Now, as a “mom boss,” Becky shares her journey and wisdom for moms who want to try solopreneurship. It’s particularly helpful for anyone who wants to become a VA (Virtual Assistant).~author and mompreneur, Mia Wenjen
